“When I am successful, we can all be gods”

Deep Blue Sea REVIEW

Deep Blue Sea 2 is basically Deep Blue Sea 1 with the introduction of two variants. In the first installment the “evil” pharmaceutical company executive with all the money was on a mission to cure Alzheimer’s by modifying shark brains. In the second installment, the evil pharmaceutical company executive is trying to make humans more intelligent so that they will not get wiped out by machines with artificial intelligence.

“When I am successful, we can all be gods,” he says,

“… or monsters,” adds his nemesis, the young marine biologist who opposes his experiments.

In the first episode, the sharks are genetically made smart as they begin to work in packs like wolves. In the sequel, they are even smarter – swimming in formation like Navy Blue Angel F-16’s. Other than that, the two plot lines are virtually indistinguishable. You simply watch and wonder who the sharks will get next. In 1, they don’t much care who they get. In 2, the smartest of them, Bella, seems to have identified the difference between good humans and bad. We are left to wonder how they will get smarter when the fins of Deep Blue Sea 3 appear on the horizon.

Dear Hollywood, please consider this idea: the apes of Planet of the Apes against the sharks of Deep Blue Sea. Winner gets the planet.

Question for Comment: How afraid of A.I. are you? Is this because you are ignorant about something?
